Robin Roberts 'Comes Out'; Why Now?

Another beloved television celebrity has "come out" and said to the world, "I am gay." This time its ABC's Good Morning America host, Robin Roberts . CNN says that Roberts has always been "open about her health battles, but she has not previously spoken publicly about her sexuality." [1] The timing of Robert's announcement begs the question: Why now? On May 8, 2012, North Carolina approved a marriage protection amendment to its constitution, defining marriage as one man and one woman. The amendment was approved by the electorate 61% to 39%. It was an overwhelming defeat for so-called gay rights. After such a profound victory, one would have expected the story to have dominated the national news the next day. It didn't. In fact, it was given less than honorable mention in the media scheme. Instead, the huge story on May 9th was President Obama's avowed support for same-sex marriage. Who did the interview of the President on the su

But he said then and in interviews   since  that he believed civil unions could provide same-sex couples with the same legal rights as marriage does. President Obama's position on the issue of marriage became an issue earlier this week after Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of Education Arne Du

Obama endorses gay ‘marriage’: says support based on Jesus, Golden Rule?

WASHINGTON, D.C. , May 9, 2012, – President Barack Obama has flip-flopped on gay “marriage” for the second time, endorsing same-sex marriage in an interview today, in which he said his decision was motivated in part by his Christian faith and his belief in the Golden Rule . Obama confuses sin with compassion towards the sinner. Obama incorrectly interprets the sermon on the mount as justification for homosexual marriage. This man is totally theologically confused. Marriage as ordained and designed by God is completely ignored by Obama. Obama's personalized postmodern logic is very flawed and specifically against God's law. “I’ve just concluded that for me personally, it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married,” Obama  told ABC News  reporter Robin Roberts in an interview to air this evening. He added that his wife, Michelle, agreed with him. “We’ve talked about it over the years and she, you know, she feels
